Wizard: I have ten trillion nanomachines

Chapter 135 Innate Abilities

Within the mental space, Andrea's mental body was disassembled into elementary particles, while her memories were transformed into abstract information.

This was the third time that Lokunlun had taken his spiritual body into his spiritual space, and Andrea, a low-level first-ring wizard, actually had memories that were no less than those of Saran, a high-level first-ring wizard who had lived for hundreds of years.

Of course, these memories are numerous, but in terms of the knowledge contained within them, they are inferior not only to Saran but also to Talos.

The only somewhat useful knowledge she possessed was a unique method of crafting magical implements, which combined magical scrolls with magical tools.

In addition, there is a sorcery model called the True Mirror, which is a type of alternate dimension model and one of the two things Andrea obtained in an ancient ruin.

The other one is the special witch array composed of 666 stone slabs, which has the function of absorbing and refining a large number of souls into a soul aggregate.

It was through this magic array that Andrea refined the souls of the forty-five qualified individuals, including Wu Ke, selected from the scroll obtained by Samuel, and barely managed to solidify a magic model, thus advancing one level.

Similarly, she also gained those people's memories, which is why she has so many memories.

According to her memory, Luo Kunlun learned about it.

After joining the Dawn Society, Wu Ke quickly distinguished himself and became a well-known apothecary among the apprentices, relying on his third-class talent and the special soul talent that Andrea called "focus".

Having experienced what happened on the Wanderer, Wu Ke has come to understand that the wizarding world is a place of deceit and ruthlessness, where the strong prey on the weak.

He understood the dangers of organizations like the Dawn Society and was unwilling to get too entangled with them, fearing that he would become too deeply involved and end up being drained of his value and dying a miserable death.

He only wanted to pursue excellence and fulfill his teacher's expectations of him.

He joined the Dawn Society simply to seek a layer of protection, which provided security for him and his friends, and in return, he would use his potion-making skills to bring them benefits.

But for Andrea, there was no reason to easily let go of this "cash cow." She had to win her over and control her.

In the end, Wu Ke was just a teenager, how could he possibly outmaneuver a seasoned veteran like Andrea who was extremely cunning and ruthless?

She is cunning, shrewd, and ruthless, both to herself and to others.

Luo Kunlun even felt that if Andrea were placed in a mundane political drama, even if she didn't become the ultimate mastermind, she would definitely be a villain who would cause the main characters a lot of trouble.

Using both soft and hard tactics, coercion and inducement.

They use intimidation tactics while promising to offer more advanced knowledge and abundant resources to win people over.

After a series of measures, Wu Ke was ultimately unable to resist and could only obediently become a "laborer" of the Dawn Society.

Of course, Andrea didn't completely block the way. She made a targeted investment in Wu Ke, teaching him some more advanced knowledge about potions.

The higher Wu Ke's abilities are, the greater the benefits he can bring her in the future, which can be considered "making the best use of resources".

At the same time, it also prevents him from giving up.

Since things have come to this, I'm not doing it anymore. What can you do to me? You can kill me if you want.

Giving him a glimmer of hope for escaping his predicament will inspire him to strive for improvement and work towards it.

But to Andrea's surprise, through the surveillance she had secretly set up, she discovered a peculiar phenomenon that would make most wizard apprentices envious.

When Wu Ke is engaged in tasks such as learning about and refining potions, he often enters a very peculiar state.

With focused and undisturbed attention, self-awareness temporarily diminishes, while learning efficiency and practical skills increase exponentially.

This state is the "deep learning" state.

This is a rare occurrence, especially since Wu Ke seems to be able to enter this state on his own, thus learning new knowledge at an astonishing speed.

For wizards, this is undoubtedly divine assistance. Knowledge is power, and being able to master knowledge efficiently is equivalent to having the possibility of rapid growth.

In order to find out the origin of this extraordinary talent, Andrea never stopped investigating Wu Ke.

She gathered a wealth of information about Wu Ke's past from the other gifted individuals who arrived at the same time as him, and from his fellow countrymen who came from the same continent.

Ultimately, she uncovered a crucial clue from a female apprentice with whom Wu Ke had a physical relationship: Wu Ke was born a commoner and was only given the opportunity to participate in the talent test after being taken in as a student by a noble scholar.

"Commoners" is a synonym for the lower class everywhere.

A noble scholar might take a commoner as an assistant or servant because of his intelligence, but he would never spend money to send a commoner with no background to take a wizard talent test.

Unless, of course, the scholar is absolutely certain that Wu Ke possesses wizarding talent.

This discovery made Andrea keenly aware of something amiss.

In order to find out the truth, Andrea traveled across the ocean to the Kingdom of Bauhinia, took control of Samuel, seized the scroll used to select talented individuals, and discovered the scroll's origin.

This scroll was obtained by Samuel from the tomb of an unnamed wizard. The exact era in which the tomb owner lived is unknown, but judging from the burial objects and the scale of the remains, he was not particularly powerful during his lifetime.

According to the murals in the ancient tomb, the tomb owner was the last head of a small family of sorcerers.

That family was said to have been very ancient, but it gradually declined, and by the time of the tomb owner, he was the only wizard apprentice left in the entire family.

The family's poverty was unimaginable; they couldn't even afford a proper talent testing tool and had to resort to a "traditional method" passed down from their ancestors.

Using the venom of the low-level magical beast, the Silver Ring Serpent, as a base, and mixed with the blood of apprentices, special runes are drawn to test whether offspring possess wizarding talent.

This method not only fails to determine the level of talent, but its accuracy is also only 70%.

After that, this declining wizarding family never produced another descendant with such talent.

Disheartened, they decided to give up and left their original wizarding community, relocating to the Forgotten Lands.

Families without the protection of wizards will find it difficult to survive in the wizarding world. Rather than that, they might as well go to the mortal realm and become kings and conquerors.

With the remaining wizards and knowledge, they and their descendants can still rise above others.

This is the true origin of that selection scroll.

Combining all the clues, Andrea finally confirmed that Wu Ke's innate special energy originated from a unique soul-level ability, which could be obtained by devouring his soul through her soul-forging magic array.

Although incomplete, she can continue searching for this gifted individual.

At the same time, it can also be used to advance to the official rank.

Despite the low success rate, she tried anyway, like a gambler.

Fortunately, she won her gamble.
